Based on what sox was saying, it sounds like the browser wants to delete whole words and we are doing something that prevents that. We also deployed some fixes an hour ago, so it could still be some cache thing.

It seems like it's a different bug though. Android shouldn't have this native behavior of deleting whole words, instead the video shows that @optimism can delete (really fast) but there's something, at some point, that reverts the action.

This needs more digging!

If you want me to test something in the meantime to help isolate the issue, let me know. I can free up some time if needed. I'll also look to repro on emulator.

Welp... I did something truly awful now because reboot -> open sn PWA triggered kernel panic from the Chrome (Vanadium) GPU thread.

Isn't it funny how discovering one bug can lead to the discovery of another? I guess I'll have to dedicate more time to this haha.

I don't even know how's that possible lol

It's definitely an underlying bug in Chrome.
